More raw json text formatting options

Right now we can only visually customize the color of the text. I think there could be slightly more formatting options. Using something similar to HTML and CSS but in JSON format. see examples below.

align

will make all the text-align dependent on what is defined. "center" will make the text centered. "left" will make the text start on the left and right is the opposite.

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"Centered Text","align":"center"}]

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"Left Text","align":"left"}]

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"Right Text","align":"right"}]

 

opacity

Will make the text transparent depending on the percentage inputted.

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"10% opacity","opacity":10}]

 

background_color

Will make the background text the selected color.

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"Text is white, background is black","color":"white","background_color":"black"}]

 

background_opacity

similar to opacity but for the background of the text. It will only be useable if background_color is used.

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"My Custom Background","background_color":"gold","background_opacity":10}]

hoverEvent & clickEvent formatting.

You can apply formatting to the text when a player hovers or clicks text. Example:

/tellraw <target> [{"text":"Hover over me!","color":"white","hoverEvent":{"color":"dark_blue","underlined":true},"clickEvent":{"color":"blue","underlined":false,"action":"open_url","value":"https://www.minecraft.net/"}}]

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. One use case is that I'm currently working on recreating a board game and it'd be nice to have some additional elbow room with the title command. Also, support for right-to-left languages like arabic without having to change the game's language settings would be incredibly nice. Sometimes map makers just want to have characters that speak other languages, y'know?
